The Islander now has a face, and It works! Door wheel and all!
(I forgot to get a photo of It when spray painted, I’m sorry! ;-;)

Brought along my FS Gr740 no.696 to the model railway club last night. This is the only sound fitted loco I own! (I still champion DC)
Paired with the FS coal wagon and DSG coaches as usual. I kinda like this consist.
Also, the Islander project got to see our Lynton & Lynmouth 009 layout.

With model railway club night over and done with, I decided to spend the evening working on the Islander, in heels!
Not that they add anything of benefit to the loco, but as a trans modeller, It’s another part of the life I’ve been living since March. Just gotta get used to wearing them regularly rather than for a 1 minute laugh.
Anyway, the…

So the Isle layout is almost done, photos soon!
The locomotive is picking up a bit of speed now. Details are being applied, the chassis frame is painted, the wheels need painting (ganna keep them red but oily), and hopefully tomorrow the locomotive will be at a stage where it can be sprayed black.
I’ll be posting frequent updates here with…

Something I never got quite finished in time before Awdry 2025.
This was for the last diorama challenge set by the Talyllyn Railway, but due to other commitments for a video project, I never really did finish off my diorama.
Perhaps with this new group I’ll have the motivation to complete this in my spare time. We shall see.

My current continental obbsession (feat. SNCF 141R no.995)
SBB steam just looks so sexy to me! The black paint job with all the brass and fittings like Its straight out of a steampunk fantasy!
I’ve just been collecting SBB stuff since the end of last year, and this is only half of the stuff I have. Some duplicate class models too with…

Thanks to @ImperialExpress306.02 , Gabriel now operates in the correct direction!
The lights need to be re-wired, but I can do that later. One of them needs a new resister anyway.
Thank youuu! <3

The only Austrian loco I have. A Ă–BB 93 with a Giesl chimney. I named it Gabriel!
Found this engine on eBay some years ago, quite liked it, so I bought it. It’s made by Kleinbahn, It runs ok, but I don’t run It all that much because the motor is wired backwards. I don’t know how to fix it yet…
However, I’m hoping by Sunday, this won’t…

While ‘Red Rolt’ is under construction, here’s no.5 Midlander!
I completed this in early 2024, here is some photos of the model alongside Its donor model.
Again, a lot of dremeling was done to get the chassis to fit, the windows to open up and the cab door to be the size it is on the real thing (pre-rebuild). Again, using my usual…

Kicking off the group thread of projects with the current icon of the page.
This is a model of the locomotive that is seen pulling the Orient Express in Doctor Who. Most notably the episode ‘Mummy on the Orient Express’ where the majority of it takes place on the train.
The engine looks like a class T12 with the size and chassis of a T18 minus…

As daft as this looks, my petrified road roller actually helped! …until the front roller got stuck.
